Andreas cannot make a decent cross, or fr a freekick and cannot provide a proper corner kick at all.

Back to reality...we are just not good enough this season

Really disappointing performance after a good start.

Lindelof doesn't give me confidence in his defending, slight better than Jones. Pereira is not first team material and can't improve anymore, keeps on getting knocked off the ball. Lingard is a squad player, not first eleven. Young is too old.

Maguire get turned by forward quite easily too

All those talk that are starting to "turn things over" is but an illusion, especially for OGS. Three away wins in a week (yes it was a good feeling) and OGS feels we have the answer for some positions. Is he just trying to motivate the players or a case of false sense of hope

We truly need some experienced players, starting with a creative midfielder and a forward.
Main problem is may not get them in during the Jan 2020 transfer window

We are certainly in the ranks of "mid-table" team at most. There is no consistency at all. At times the lads are seen playing good football, but more often then not, lack-lustre with no creativity.
Whenever MR or AM plays ok in one game, OGS seems over the moon and gets very carried away...but alas the next game....MIA!!!!
No consistency at all.
We lack a captain that can "bark" orders.
And we have a captain that has certainly "over-stayed" He is the reason why the game truly slows down (winning or losing position) cos his habit of back passing is classic. The front 3 are already running into positions, and instead of pushing the ball forward, he brings the ball to the half-way line and then BACKWARDS and the whole attack momentum collapse.
This season (plus towards the 2nd half of last season), it had been a torture watching our team

Need a midfield general. A strong leader who do the command and control.
Someone who can lead in attack and retreat when need to defend.
He must read the game and gel the tempo in the team.
More than often we see attacking at the front but not supported.
Either no communication or simply slow down by aged players.
Best form of defend is attack.
You score 1 and we score 2.
We are lacking this at the moment.

After watching the Everton vs Spurs match, I am more convinced that the VAR is too inconsistent. The English FA should really sit down and look at the flaws now that more players are taking advantage by diving, trying to win penalties. Or how did Everton not awarded a clear cut penalty when Ali had his hands raised (remember we were awarded?)
But the saddest moment in tonight's game is the horrific injury to Gomez though in truth Son should not be red carded (but doubt Son could have gone through the match after seeing the injury, he was totally devastated) The momentum of his tackle caused Gomez to trip (yellow card for sure) and Gomez crashed into Aurier which probably resulted in broken leg (most likely) for Gomez. Even Aurier could not concentrate thereafter and had to be sub.
Wishing Gomez a speedy recovery

Latest report, was broken ankle which could probably end his career. Indeed very sad

But credit to Everton players. They were seen consoling rather then confronting Son.

The reasons for the lost game

- 3 games in 1 week, some of the players played entirely for the last three games and were noticbly tired for this yet we do not have adequate players from the bench to replace them to start this game. SM, Fred, Bissaka all looked very tired.

- Our creativity is next to zero, forwards were starved of quality through passes

- Nobody from the bench came on to make a difference as we lack quality on the bench

- We still put in Young, why is he still picked when we have Brendan Williams ready???? He looked lost for most of the game and was at fault for letting the cross came in from the left for the goal.
